Managing PPP projects is not a routine job, as every PPP project is different and should be managed accordingly. These projects require considerable capability and skills from both public sector and private sector managers involved, Strategic Issues in Public Private Partnerships, Second Edition, delivers the insight and tools necessary to assist those managers. As Public private partnership (PPP) arrangements become an increasingly popular way for national governments to fund and develop public infrastructure and urban areas with private sector contributions, a better understanding of the ris

Cyberattacks against U.S. targets are becoming increasingly common. To effectively combat these attacks, law enforcement officers need the tools to respond to and prevent cyberattacks before they can occur. In recent years, hackers have launched cyberattacks against infrastructural targets such as power grids, oil and gas distribution computer systems, and telecommunications networks. Cyberattacks have also targeted U.S. government websites, including the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Treasury. Recently, a cyberattack against SolarWinds, a Texas-based I.T. company, compromised the computer and network systems of federal, state, and local governments; critical infrastructure entities; and other private sector organizations. To put law enforcement in the most effective position to combat acts of cyberterrorism, courts should adopt a broad approach when applying the Public Safety Exception to Miranda. This approach gives law enforcement the necessary tools to successfully respond to and prevent acts of Cyberterrorism while respecting the principles at the heart of the Public Safety Exception. This Comment outlines the existing Public Safety Exception precedent, discusses its application to traditional acts of terrorism, and advocates for the adoption of a broad approach when applying the Public Safety Exception to acts of cyberterrorism.

The paper discusses the armament of police in the United States. I will consider the reasons why disarmament is not a conversation in the United States. I identify that there is a problem in the United States when about 1000 people die every year due to being shot and killed by police officers. The issue of officers shooting civilians goes beyond just the general problem and is particularly an issue for communities of color and people with mental disabilities as there is a disproportionate number of deaths in both of these communities. I will also identify and discuss the policies of police in the United States and the lack of accountability of officers. I will analyze the police in other countries where they do not carry guns. Lastly, I will focus on ways of changing our current structure in a small manner so as to identify where a conversation can begin. These changes include the use of more non lethal weapons and improving officer training.

Changes in sentencing practices, coupled with a decrease in prison rehabilitation programs, have placed new demands on the U.S. parole system. Nearly 700,000 parolees are "doing time" on the streets. Most have been released to a parole system that provides few services and imposes conditions that almost guarantee failure. This article examines the state of parole in today's corrections environment—from indeterminate and determinate sentencing policies to investing in prisoner reentry programs. Specifically, the article analyzes the following collateral consequences involved with recycling parolees in and out of families and communities: community cohesion and social disorganization, work and economic well-being, family matters, mental and physical health, political alienation, and housing and homelessness. The future of parole is also discussed, and the author urges a rethinking of discretionary parole release.

Abstract
Well-functioning occupational safety and health (OSH) programs have been the foundation to strengthen global economic development. OSH policies and practices for migrant workers are issues of concern to all countries worldwide, as mentioned by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Migrant workers face various factors that exacerbate their vulnerability, including language barriers, lack of access to training and education, limited legal protection, and discrimination.
Taiwan, like many high-income countries, relies heavily on migrant workers. However, information on occupational accident prevention strategies for migrant workers is lacking, making it difficult to comprehensively evaluate the risk factors and the effectiveness of education and training. Despite implementation shortcomings, the Labor Insurance coverage requirements for migrant workers in Taiwan have provided a comprehensive database to demonstrate statistical information and to identify critical risk factors.
This study utilized the databases of labor insurance and the major occupational accidents to identify the incidence rate of work-related accidents among migrant workers compared with domestic workers in Taiwan. Meanwhile, the on-site investigation was also conducted through questionnaires and interviews with the managers, domestic laborers, and migrant workers to gain insight into their OSH experiences, perceptions, and challenges. Overall, language barriers were found to be the most prevalent obstacles in delivering effective training programs, and a reliable evaluation system is needed to assess the efficacy of the training for migrant workers.
Overall, this study offers insights for developing training programs to enhance workplace safety, fostering international collaborations for global occupational health improvement, and guiding governments in formulating policies to safeguard migrant workers' rights and well-being.
